Last Updated: January 1, 2025
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide a better user experience.
Cookies allow websites to remember your preferences, authenticate your login session, and understand how you interact with the site.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Essential Cookies (Required)
These cookies are necessary for our services to function properly. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
What they do:
- • Authentication: Keep you logged in across all platforms
- • Security: Protect against CSRF attacks and unauthorized access
- • Session Management: Maintain your active session and state
- • Load Balancing: Route your requests to the correct server
Examples: session_id, csrf_token, auth_token
2. Preference Cookies (Optional)
These cookies remember your settings and preferences to enhance your experience. You can disable them, but some features may not work as expected.
What they do:
- • Theme: Remember your dark/light mode preference
- • Language: Store your language selection
- • Dashboard Layout: Save your custom layout preferences
- • Notification Settings: Remember your alert preferences
Examples: theme_preference, language, layout_config
3. Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These cookies help us understand how users interact with our platforms so we can improve the user experience. You can opt-out without affecting service functionality.
What they do:
- • Usage Patterns: Track which features are most popular
- • Performance: Monitor page load times and errors
- • Navigation: Understand user flow through the app
- • Demographics: Anonymized data about user types
All analytics data is anonymized and cannot be linked back to you personally.
4. No Advertising Cookies
We do NOT use advertising cookies or third-party ad trackers. Treffortly does not display advertisements or track you for marketing purposes beyond our own services.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we use cookies from trusted third-party service providers:
Stripe (Essential)
Our payment processor Stripe uses cookies to securely process payments and prevent fraud. These are essential for billing functionality.
Analytics Providers (Optional)
We may use services like Google Analytics or similar to understand usage patterns. These cookies are optional and you can opt-out via account settings.
AI Service Providers (Session-based)
When you use AI features (writing assistance, task suggestions), temporary session cookies may be set by our AI providers. These do not track you across sites.
How Long Cookies Last
Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain until expiration or deletion):
- • Session Cookies: Deleted when you close your browser (e.g., CSRF tokens)
- • Authentication Cookies: 30 days (or until logout)
- • Preference Cookies: 1 year
- • Analytics Cookies: 13-26 months (industry standard)
